IPad Air to projector cord choice-sound airport Express?

Ok so I'm looking to use my ipad to play movies in the back yard for the kiddos.
The projector I am going to order has VGA and HDMI ports.
I am looking to project the movie to the screen/projector
through one of these ports and then stream the sound through my airport express which connects to the backyard speakers I have using airplay.
Does it matter which cord I use to connect to projector? I was wondering since hdmi has sound as well but I want to use the airport express for this.
Does anyone have advice on wether this is the best setup? I want to make sure it will all work before investing the money. THX

duggifresh,
I am trying to use the same setup using the VGA connection from my iPad to the projector, but the image freezed when I engage the sound through my Airport Express. Did you ever get this to work? If so, how? Thanks!!
iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2

What cord to connect Airport Express to dsl box

What type of cord connects the Airport Express to the dsl box?

Ethernet cable of any length that you need.

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Voices on IPad Air Movies Quiet but BackGround Sounds (music, explosions, etc) really Loud

Hello:
I've having an issue when playing movies on my IPad Air. To hear the voices in the movies, I have to turn the sound all the way up to the max, but when other background sounds play such as music, the sound is so loud I have to turn the sound down. So I am adjusting the sound throughout the entire movie based on what's going on.
I have tried different headphones and it's the same case for all of them.
I know there have been issues reported around the sound with the newest OS, but I have not seen conversations specifically about this issue.
Has anyone had this and found a fix for it?

I Wasn't sure if it was only happening with earphones, but you did say that you tried different earphones, so no apologies necessary. I probably misunderstood. in that case, I suppose one of the channels that the sound goes through could be bad. I think I am using the correct terminology here, but I am no expert by any means. I would assume though, that the same would apply to the speakers themselves, but .... it only happens with earphones and while viewing movies.
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps? Cleaning the earphone jack? Restarting the iPad? Resetting the iPad? Closing the Videos app and restarting?

IPad Air (ios8) only airplays the sound to Apple TV. Not the image.

What could be wrong? If I choose Mirroring, it works. I get both image and sound, but then obviously the image is the shape of the iPad, and not full screen, if you know what I mean. When i choose normal airplay, and press play on an HBO video f.eks., the iPad screen is black, but the sound is playing on the tv.
Same on my iPhone 4s btw. This all happened after the update. Worked fine before.
Thanks!

Apple TV not working for me either, i'm on able mirror any of my devices, If I swipe up I get the Apple TV icon, but it doesn't connect.
all Devices are on the same network. It's was all working before I updated to iOS 8.2. its not working with anything, is this a new faluit with iOS 8? Any know of a fix.

Macbook Air (Lion) won't connect to Airport Express (and won't remember network)

My new Macbook Air 13, with Lion, will not connect to my Airport Express. It throws the following error: "A connection timeout occured"
This Airport Express is setup as a bridge. So it extends my wireless router.
The new Macbook air sees this setup as 2 seperate WIFI networks. It will connect to one (the router), but will not connect to the other one (the airport). It will then not remember the router, so each time it restarts or wakes from sleep, I have to manually reconnect to the correct one.
For reference. I have 4 other wifi devices in this household. A win 7 laptop, an IPad 2, an iphone, and a Macbook pro with Leopard. All 4 of them are working as intended. They see one wifi network, connect to it (and move between the two points as necessary), and they remember their connections.
Any thoughts or advice?

Glad it's not just me. I have D-Link and TP-Link routers set up in the same or a similar way. My iPads, iPods and Windows laptops all show a single SSID and switch between them happily. My new 13" Air was showing two networks (2 SSIDs) and wireless was patchy at best. I changed one router to be N only and that improved things somewhat, but still loosing the network. In order to see which router was being used I altered the SSID of one. The "N-only" router is giving the best coverage with a strong signal - but then it just drops out and the wireless icon shows "Searching". Turning wifi off then back on fixes the connection.
When it comes to internet browsing my iPad 2 is significantly faster than the Air.
I'm also having trouble keeping or attaining connections to my Windows shares, drop-out, even when I still have internet connectivity.

IPad to stream remote share music to Airport Express?

I want to use an iPad near my audio system as a kind of jukebox to view shared, network-based music and stream it to my audio system through my Airport Express. How can this best be done?

You can stream music from an iPad to an AirPort Express just using AirPlay.

How do I print via airport express from my iPad?, How do I print via airport express from my iPad?

I have set up an airport express which I can print through from my mac book pro, but I can't detect any printers from my iPad?

Use the application Printopia.

Airplay audio (from iPad or iPhone) is continually dropping with AirPort Express.

On other support articles I have seen the suggestion to change Wi-Fi frequency, but I do not have this option with my AirPort utility (V5.6.1) running on a Windows laptop.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thank you

Hi JohnJeffreys,
If you are having issues with your AirPlay audio from your iOS devices to your Airport Express, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Air Port in my Imac and Airport Express with my 360

Hi all,
Not sure if Im being nieve but I am trying to set up a network between my Imac and an airport express, with the ulitmate goal of connecting my Xbox 360 to that network. My imac has an airport card and Ihave tried doing the WDS setup any help that any one can offer would be great.
Thanks

G'day Duane,
Just clarifying things here, is it still possible to connect a 360 (via MS' networking adaptor) to a wireless network created by an iMac's built-in airport? Currently I'm using a network encrypted by a WEP password which works all fine and dandy with my MacBook. On the 360, it recognises the network, allows me to enter the password and connects, only to tell me when testing the XBL connection that the wireless network is not connected. The same problem happened when I took off the security. Is there a way around this apart from connecting an ethernet cable to my MacBook/directly into the router?
Cheers in advance,
-Tom

Airport extreme 802.11g to be setup with iPad Air...?

Airport extreme 802.11g How do I set up this device on my iPad Air...? The Airport Express does not support this device and directed me to the devices software which I do nat have anymore!

In order to set up the older AirPort Express, you will need.....or be able to borrow for 10-15 minutes.....a Mac running the Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) operating systems....or....a PC that has AirPort Utility installed on the device

Airport Express 1st gen A1264 can't be seen in Airport Utility 6.3.2 in OS X 10.10.2

I have acquired a 1st gen 802.11n airport express base station and I am trying to set it up through Airport utility but no matter what I try It won't recognize the device. I am using a 2014 MBP w retina display, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, won't be get picked up on my iPad Air 2 either.

Power up the AirPort Express for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 10 seconds, then release
Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
On your MBP, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen
Look for a listing of New AirPort Base Station
Click on AirPort Express to start the setup wizard
If you are using an iPad, tap Settings on the Home Screen
Tap WiFi
Look for a setting of Setup a New Base Station
Tap on AirPort Express to start the setup wizard
If you have already tried this a few times, and the AirPort Express does not appear, then the AirPort Express is defective.

No sound at some apps Ipad Air

Hello
My problem is that with headset all app work with sound. But the internat speaker works only with a few apps.
I try to reinstall from a backup but didn ' t work, no change.

1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7 ot iOS 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return. If you have an iPad Air 2, you control system sounds and the rotation lock in the control center, since the device has no side switch.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

3. Try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
4. If you still have no sound, try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

Ipad air beeped and sound went off

HI
My iPad Air beeped one time ( the sound was like as if you have clicked some undefined keyboard keys on Win 98) then sound went off. It happened once a month but with iOS 7.1.2 it happened once a week. Each time I should power off and on to fix it.
Is it hardware problem or...?
thanks

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. Is it still within the 1-yr warranty period?

IPad Air for the wife....Please Help.

Hiya. My wife had previously a Windows 8.1 laptop and its was so slow and complicated that we had to sell it. Now, i'm planning on buying her an iPad Air instead. These are the things i noticed what she was doing and what she would need from her "old" computer:
1. Photos - When we had our holiday in Paris we had about (say in this instance) 300+ photos stored in our camera's SD card; photos are saved at 8MP resolution in normal/auto mode. Now i understand there is an SD card adaptor for the Air. My concerns for this because of the 1GB RAM uploading might take a while. And also where will the photos be stored? Can she easily edit the photo before uploading them to Facebook or Flickr?
Does she have to go to the app first then upload photos thru there?
2. Documents - The bane of her life. She will be doing course work in the next 2 months which requires doing a long case study (essay). Now i understand there is MS Office for iPad. Can she create, edit, copy & paste (from one source to Word) documents as you would on a Windows computer? Is there any other good third-party or 1st-party Office/Word app that she can use that is user-friendly? And can she save those documents in .pdf or .doc format too?
3. My wife has an Android phone and he has Gmail and files on Google Drive. I'm aware there are Google apps on the App Store. But the concern here is can she upload for example a saved CV in .doc or .pdf format to Google Drive from the iPad Air?
4. I have a Macbook and sometimes i would like to send files from my Mac to her device for example a photo or .doc document. Can i transfer such files to her iPad via bluetooth or any other easier/faster way?
5. Wireless printing - There has been occasions that she wants to wirelessly print something to our wireless printer. Can she do that straight & on-the-fly via an app (or from within an app)? For example a train ticket or her CV.
Please advice. Thank you.

I have been considering a Surface Pro 2 and a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1.
I won't like to go back to a Windows computer because despite having far better specs than an iPad my experience with slow/long downloading & installing of updates and tedious/confusing OS (e.g. you have to "stop all processes" to make some background processes stop, confusing Metro UI & Desktop dual OS, etc.) i'm trying to avoid.
A Galaxy Tab Pro with far superior specs than an iPad Air seems a reasonable choice also. But i feel that there are more apps, better optimised apps in iOS than Android then i may also avoid it.
I'm thinking of getting a 64GB iPad Air which might be enough for her needs. I have mentioned previously what i have asked her what she would normally do with a computer/tablet. I have yet to find a refurbished 11-inch MBA in the Store. Found some 13-inches but she doesn't need that big a screen.
I have no experience with Android tablets, so can't comment there.
As to refurbished MBAs, there's a couple right now in the US Store. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_air/11

I would like to ask more about Photos. Do i need to upload them to the iPad first before i can do some basic editing? If say she wants to upload those photos in Facebook can she do it via Photos or does she have to go to the Facebook app? Same procedure with uploading to Google Drive or OneDrive?
Yes they need to be on the iPad. The Camera Connection Kit support only lets you preview the images from the memory card, camera, or USB drive. But you can't to anything with them until you import them to the iPad.
Also for files, which cannot be uploaded from a flash drive or external hard drive. There are some Wireless drives that will allow you to access files on the drive through their own App and in turn transfer them to the Google Drive or OneDrive Apps for upload onto those services.

Yes. As I said you need the Office 365 subscription to get all the features. Without a suscription you only get limited editing capabilities.

Yes, and Yes. Copy paste is not an issue from one app to another.
